Coffee and smoking are the last great addictions.

I love children and I love men, but I can't commit to either for the rest of my life.

I love receiving fan mail.

And I don't believe that women can successfully have it all. I really don't.

And I think women have come a very, very long way, but they have a long way to go.

I love fast cars... and to go too fast in them.

Coffee and smoking are the last great addictions.

I am a very selfish person.

But Tommy Lee Jones is just smooth. He's just the real deal. I'm captivated by him because there's so little of that in Hollywood, and he just embodies it.

Have I seen The Commitments? I was obsessed with that movie. I just watched it again about two weeks ago.

I've dated men my age, younger than me and older. The only difference is the young ones are quicker at taking out the garbage.

I've had Irish skin from the time I was a young girl.

I had never watched a law show prior to being cast on The Practice.

I'm afraid of the dark, so I have a lot of night-lights.

That's what the holidays are for - for one person to tell the stories and another to dispute them. Isn't that the Irish way?

I remember doing the sex scene in Red Rock West. I had to kiss Nic Cage and then look like I was going down on him. And he couldn't do anything - he just had to lie there.

To put me through school my morn had to work, so I was a latchkey kid.

Being Irish was a big thing for me, particularly growing up in Chicago.

You can get through your whole day only around people who will tell you that you're wonderful. But pretty soon they're going to have to be lying about that.

I love talking about myself.

I don't have a problem with my body. I don't diet, and I'm not hiding anything. I'm not going to be the subject of a movie of the week 10 years from now.

I had so many freckles that my mother used to say that they were kisses from the angels. I still have them.

Oh, I don't talk about Jack and me. Some things are too good to share.

Sometimes when you're just thrown into something, you are more ready for it than when you have time to think it over and get nervous about it.

I still sweat bullets if I go on The Tonight Show, but I tell myself, You can either have fun tonight or you can be shy and miserable. You ask my friends or anyone I work with now - nobody would say I was shy.

But I know somebody who has a bedside urinal. How do I compete with that?

As soon as you get over caring what people think, you can have a nice time.

I spent every day just praying that I didn't look like a big dork on camera.

Everybody wants to solve everybody's problems.

I know that I'm getting the real deal with my mom. I know that she's telling it like it is. She's proud of me when I've earned it and she's disappointed in me when I've earn that. She's really my spectrum on where I am as a person.

You know, the bigger you get and the more success you have, the more people you can fill your house with to tell you how great you are. You can do that.

I think the institution of marriage is a great idea, but for me it's just an idea.

She comes from the Midwest. She had me at a very young age and raised me on her own. She's a very hard worker.

Men love it. They have a sense of humor, whereas a lot of women are threatened or just don't get it.

I am very fortunate to have a career. I always have to act. I don't know if I'll have a career to support it for the rest of my life, but I know I'll always act.

It is a great compliment to go out and be recognized. Although, because I basically go home and go to work, there isn't much opportunity for that kind of thing to happen.

I had such a great mom and I know that I'd never be that mom. I wouldn't want to bring a child into this world unless I could be.

And while I might not always agree with the viewpoint I have to portray, because I play a district attorney, as an actress I can always tell myself that my character is trying to take the moral high ground.

As soon as you get over caring what people think you can have a nice time

But I love New York. I used to set my alarm clock when I was there, and get up at 4am and get a coffee, just because I could.

I like my coffee light.

The ability to deal with people is as purchasable a commodity as sugar or coffee and I will pay more for that ability than for any other under the sun.

A leaf fluttered in through the window this morning, as if supported by the rays of the sun, a bird settled on the fire escape, joy in the task of coffee, joy accompanied me as I walked.

They say you can smoke 400 cigs a day and drink 20 cups of coffee, but you can't have a line or a drink again.

I could serve coffee using my rear as a ledge.

There is nothing like being left alone again, to walk peacefully with oneself in the woods. To boil one's coffee and fill one's pipe, and to think idly and slowly as one does it.

I wake up some mornings and sit and have my coffee and look out at my beautiful garden, and I go, 'Remember how good this is. Because you can lose it.'

When traveling with someone, take large does of patience and tolerance with your morning coffee.

Americans are making coffee a bigger part of their lives, expanding attitudes and behaviors that are driving new levels of consumption.
